But even if you never bought a handbag by Kate Spade, she has influenced you. Because of what she did when designing in her famous accessories. Guess how!

Even Bolder than the Colors of Her Handbags

The branding! You see, Kate Spade placed her label prominently. Stuck it right on the outside of every bag, beneath the handle. Rather than what?

Tucking her label inside her leather bags. Which other designers used to do. Creatively, Kate Spade let her name became part of the design. Like a fashion statement.

Thus, she became one of the fashion industry’s pioneers of branding.

These days? Go into any crowd of people and count all the designer names and logos. Handbags! Tee-shirts! Jeans! Soooooooo much branding!

Hey, while we’re researching…

Did You Ever Buy a Kate Spade Bag Or Wallet?

Or make the purchase for someone else? Because news coverage has broadcast this extensively in recent days. So many young women received the coveted Kate Spade merchandise as gifts.

Yes, since Spade’s death, a suicide, conversation has buzzed. So many grateful gals have come forth, praising how much Kate meant to them. So many women absolutely adored that uniquely colorful merchandise.

Blog-Buddies, please share your comments about why you bought these semi-luxury items. Or didn’t. Personally, I’ve never paid so much for a handbag

Clearly, though, many people have. And absolutely adored their colorful, unpretentious. spunky purchases.

My way to honor this uplifting designer is… Not to pose with one of her handbags. But to do a face reading. Ha! You’ve guessed that by now. So here we go.

Background on Face Reading Secrets®

Reading faces for character is different from expression reading. The art of physiognomy goes back thousand of years. In that context, the form of face reading I’ll use in this article is a unique system. Trademarked, and very compatible with all the other systems of RES Energy READING.

Kate Spade Face Reading #5. Unusually Straight Wariness Index

How to See It

This photo was taken towards the end of the designer’s life. And it shows remarkable lower eyelid curve.

Usually my way of rating that — the Wariness Index — goes from 1 to 10. With 1 as the straightest. And 10 as the curviest.

Well, what do you find here? (Remember to cross over to tell left from right, of course.)

Kate Spade’s left eye was a 1.

And her right eye was a -10. See how it scrunches up?

Gift of the Soul

Extreme loyalty to old friends. (At least to people who continue to treat her as she expects.)

Potential Challenge

Suspicion of people? Especially strong regarding her public life? (Corresponding to that so-wary right eye.)

In Conclusion

Long may Kate Spade’s creativity bring joy to the world.

Reading her face, I looked at an exceptionally large number of photos. Trying to get a sense of how she looked. Remarkable to me was Kate Spade’s tremendous eye mobility. So many changes to her Wariness Index and her Eye Angles.

What struck me most? Never once did I see a real smile. Lips moved from “Don’t Bother Pretending” all the way to Extreme Zesty.

But not her eyes. When she smiled, then zero eye-involvement. No personal engagement, of a kind that often equates to emotional giving.

No doubt Kate Spade gave prodigiously through her work. All giving need not be emotional.

May she rest in peace. And after a long stint in her appropriate heaven, may she find a different kind of human success: Enduring personal happiness.
